Preparing You For College And Beyond

Teaching A Mindset For Success

AR FOUNDERAmanda Rubenstein, J.D.

Graduating at the top of her class from the USC Gould School of Law and the University of Pennsylvania, Amanda has since coached thousands of students to ACT and SAT mastery. During an initial consult, Amanda will analyze past test results, pinpoint strengths and weaknesses, and present a strategic game plan to hit target scores.

Amanda and the AR team are beyond incredible. I never would have thought I’d score a 1520 on the SAT (a 220 point jump!). Thank you!

Julie B., Long Beach Polytechnic High School student

"With AR’s help, I was able to stand out in the college admissions process and get accepted to Harvard. I wouldn’t be where I am today without AR!"

Wyatt R., Newport Harbor student

With AR, I earned an ACT score that made my mom proud! I’ll be heading to UCLA in the fall and I couldn't be happier.

Emaad R., Fairmont Prep High School student

I scored a perfect 36 on the ACT, and I could not have done it without AR.

Jack R., Sage Hill High School student

The one thing standing in the way between me and playing college football was my ACT score. After two months of prep, I got the score I needed. Big thanks to AR.

Our Proven Method

Outsmart the test-makers. As a standardized exam, the SAT and ACT are highly predictable. We teach our students to recognize patterns in answer choices and key phrasing in questions to know exactly what concept they’re being tested on, and, accordingly, which strategy to employ.

Our instructors know the material, and so will they. Everything tested on the ACT and SAT is highly teachable. AR students are trained to master each exam’s limited series of concepts through our expert instruction and curated curriculum.

Time can be on their side. Down to the second, our students are taught how to properly pace each question, passage, and section to ensure they always finish the exam accordingly. No question left behind.

Success doesn’t come from the night before. By structuring a consistent schedule of weekly homework assignments, practice exams, and customized sessions, our students earn complete mastery of the exam by test day. No cramming. Just retention.
